Abstract
Monochromatic small-angle Fraunhofer diffraction from a spiral is studied as a function of its stretching. A simple relation between locations of the principal maxima and geometrical parameters of a spiral is obtained. Diffraction from a spiral is analyzed theoretically in the linear approximation of the boundaries of the profile of a periodic unit. An analytical expression for the light intensity at any point of a screen is derived, and analytical relations between locations of the principal maxima and geometrical parameters of a spiral, which are identical to the relations established experimentally, are obtained. The possibility for utilizing the results obtained in the development of systems of automatic control of the main geometrical parameters of spiral objects in the process of their production is demonstrated by the example of the analysis of diffraction patterns from a standard metallic screw and a twisted capron fiber.
